My name, a name I've hated
for most of my life
an unnatural patchwork
the result of my family's toxicity
I got the **** end of the deal
I didn't even get a say
and they wonder why I was bullied
every **** day.

So call out my name
let it roll off your tongue
with its choppy pronunciation
and unnatural feel

I wish I were a hermit crab
so I could shed this old shell
